Shijimajokaku Ward
It is said that on the Yamate side of Nakijin Castle existed a village called Shigema, with the gate leading up to it called Shigema Gate.
This area was a natural stronghold due to the valley made by the Shigema river. Excavation carried out in 1981 uncovered the ruins of four of the original building that existed there.
